The Glory is coming

 Wow, we haven't even experienced the extremes, but we're feeling the rumbles:

tornadoes coming within a couple miles of our house: God's got more for us

our family vehicle is giving us a really hard time, and my husband's car is hit- vehicle hits our car in a parking lot, so no personal damage: God's got more for us

conflict within and with the kids as Chris and I double down to study for investing and multiplying for His Kingdom- trying to share time with them as the time gets more scarce- but believing the rewards are coming

we find out we could receive adoption credit for our 1st child, and will be able to for our 2nd to be completed this year- more to invest or pay for that vehicle or the house addition to accommodate the kids....

encouragement to get the non-profit launched because we can be taken care of in it

taking on homeschooling another year, with two in middle school and one entering kindergarten

I'm so overwhelmed!

These are all blessings, as I laugh, the rumblings of abundance presently and on it's way.  Lord, you have provided, you are providing, and you will continue to provide.  Lord help me to believe and take the daily steps for mental, physical and spiritual health.

Lord, when I want to throw a temper tantrum, hold my tongue and settle my spirit.  Help me to respond with grace, love and joy.  My house is packed.  I don't want any of them to move out, but 5 years and my oldest could, and a short 2 years after that and my 2nd!  Oh Lord, help me!!  So much is closing in: get financially stable, spend time with the kids.  I feel torn, but continuing what we've been doing isn't going to suffice.  Lord Help me to be prepared for your provisions.  

Matthew 11:28-30 Lord, I come to you to lay down those thing of being a mama that have weighed me down, be it in the material, attitude, character, or spiritual.  I want to be aligned with you.  I want to learn your ways, your desire for me, and to find rest in my spirit.  I really think so much of the unrest is where my spirit is in conflict with your will.  I am so close to making the leap, yet holding on.  Lord speak to me to let go.  Transform me.  I can't do it on my own, I need your direction.

What Joy awaits

 The most amazing thing happened yesterday.  WOW!  And yet, it is not the most amazing thing, it is purely another, another, another act of God.  He is so good.  We must believe He is who He says He is and venture into relationship with Him to truly know.  Relationship means communicating, trusting, taking what looks like risky steps to do what He says to do, go where He says to go.  There is no loss greater than the blessing of walking with Him.  I'm not saying there will be no loss, but that the blessings as we steadfastly walk with Him will come.   I'm going to divert a little from the book that I've been working on to address this thing... the dark valleys and the mountain tops.  Some would say I just hit a mountain top, so of course I'm praising.  I have learned that I must continue to praise believing for the mountains.  This reminds me of my reading of Hind's Feet- I highly recommend this to anyone.  It is an a...

Recognizing my need for Aaliyah

Image
In Hebrew,  "Aaliyah" "Aaliyah" is transliterated as "אלין" (Aliyyah). It translates to "ascent," "rising," or "going up." This word is used to describe the process of immigrating to Israel, where Jews return to their ancestral homeland. It can also refer to the calling of a member to the Torah reading during synagogue services. my understanding, and the reason I named my daughter "Aliya", is that an Aaliyah is a journey...an intentional journey to meet God. This afternoon I read "the Be-Happy Attitudes" by Robert Schuller, chapter 2.   What is my need? What have I still not laid down before him?   My Wife-ing- I'm reading "Help Mate" by Debbi Pearl. I've been trying to change my husband into what I thought a man was supposed to be. My mothering- each of my kids is unique, and fostering and now adoption has been a roller coaster- is it because I'm trying to "maintain contr...

Using your talents, sharing testimony

Image
  Talents: Using What’s in Your Hands God placed unique skills, passions, and experiences within you for a reason. None of them are wasted—not your career background, your creative interests, or even your struggles.  I hope you can take some time to think about your journey, and thank God for even the hard times that brought you here.  And I hope that you can see how He's redeemed those hard times.   I'll take this opportunity to share my story.  It is multi-faceted, and there are so many areas that I can now look back and say, "God was working there," or, "He is now using that to bless and encourage others, but I'll take just the area of preparing me to be a foster and adoptive mom: I was in middle school and grinding through some difficult geometry homework in my bedroom when I heard my parents raising their voices, the dogs begin to bark in excitement, and accusations get slung back and forth.  Another fight!  I grabbed my younger brother and s...
